Loft conversions and the benefits to your home

February 28, 2014 Greg Nelson No Comments

Building a loft conversion is and expensive and difficult task but can add serious value to your home with a increase in floor space of up to 1/3 its easy to see how the average value of a home of £167000 with a loft conversion possibly adding another third it also make finical sense to invest in the extra space.

With the average loft conversion we carry out in the region of £33000 some of our customers have had their homes revalued after we have carried out the conversion and were pleasantly surprised with the increase in value well above the price of the building work.

We use easy price pro to estimate the costs of your lost conversion so we can provide a full breakdown of all the costs incurred including labour and materials division which other companies may not provide and a full schedule.

Our customers have asked us to carry on providing information about how different loft conversions are carried out and the different types of loft conversions that can be achieved in a type of roof space or particular building as the type of house you have affects what is possible within that area.

In the future we will dedicate a page to the types of loft conversions we carry out and what is most suited to the particular roof construction for each building which is most important as this often affects the costs of loft conversions.

Check back in a couple of weeks and something should be up concerning the types of loft conversions according to building types.

As we are Loft conversion specialists Ipswich we like to post information about what we do to engage with our customers and clients about the process and regulations that can help clients decide what type of loft conversion they need and how to achieve it.

We tend to tell customers that now that we have engineered timber joists these can often do away with steel beams wich are heavy and expensive to install often needing road closures and cranes to lift them into position this in my opinion is the “old way” and engineered joists like the I joist system have many benefits over steels.

Look here if you wish to have more information on www.jji-joists.co.uk

These types of joist can span up to eight meters which is more than adequate for most loft conversion although they do cost they simplify making rooms in your existing roof, another way to save on space is to use space blanket a thermal quilt which provide the equivalent of 400mm if insulation this mean that your u values will be excellent and you will save space and energy.

We recommend using the latest building techniques because they save time and money for our clients and they are easier to install so the project is completed quicker.

Thanks for reading.
